Labor opposes this motion. Australia's oil and gas exploration sector is made possible by the investment and expertise of global companies. Labor supports a stable foreign investment framework in our resources sector. The plan by Equinor to explore for gas in the Great Australian Bight is being evaluated by NOPSEMA, and the Senate should respect the independent decision-making process of the regulator.
